[PATCH 0/4] support for virtio packed virtqueues

QEMU recently (86044b24e) introduced packed virtqueues for virtio that supposedly have better cache utilization and performance compared to the default split queues. So here's a patch set that expose the virtio parameter as a optional libvirt XML attribute to virtio-backed devices, e.g.: <interface type='user'> <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/> <model type='virtio'/> <driver packed='on'/> </interface> The default value if the attribute is omitted is still 'off' and regular split virtqueues are used.
